  • Eugène Chevreul and the perception of colors

    Couleurs by Le Nez Insurgé is much more than a simple perfume collection. It's an innovative approach that aims to represent each color with a distinctive scent. With five colors and five perfumes, this revolutionary line awakens the senses in a way you never imagined before

    An olfactory exploration of chromatic nuances

    It was from everyday experiences in the Le Nez Insurgé shop and during olfactory workshops that Dorothée Duret made a fascinating discovery: our sense of smell engages synesthesia, a neurological phenomenon where multiple senses are durably linked. Over the course of “awakening to olfaction” workshops, it became clear that most of us have the ability to describe smells using colors.

    A new sensory approach

    The inspiration behind this olfactory venture goes back to the 19th century, thanks to the work of Eugène Chevreul, a chemist whose research revolutionized our understanding of color perception. His discoveries influenced renowned artists and craftsmen, such as those of the Art & Craft movement founded by William Morris and John Ruskin. This philosophy, which places craftsmanship at the heart of art, finds unexpected echoes in the world of perfumery.
